I've been wondering this, as I never can see any stitching around the pieces.
I stitched around the pieces on the longarm. Some people satin stitch on a DSM. My pieces were definitely not stuck down well enough to even consider not stitching them. I used steam-a-seam-lite. I don't know if a different fusible (or a heavier hand on the iron) might mean that you don't need to stitch the pieces down, but actually the stitching adds to the design so I think I would stitch anyway.
Thanks for the info!

beautiful work ;)

Wow, incredible job! I bought the pattern; but then saw all the tiny pieces and have shyed away from it. Anyone wanting this pattern, it's for sale.

Don't be afraid of the bear! :) It's not that hard, and if you don't cut the pieces exactly right it really doesn't matter. This was tons easier than I thought it would be. Give it a try.
